Small addition in floating pane dragging

[mandrav]

Some times you want to drag a floating pane around without it being docked (say, because it's in the way).
This patch looks if ALT is pressed while dragging and, if so, doesn't allow dropping. It also disables the hint rect.

Code: Select all

Yeah, I agree too. I also thought that maybe we might want a keyboard modifier to prevent docking. I'll try out the patch on Monday.

Best,
